Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I just found out Monday that a close friend at work, Lori, had a miscarriage - she was 15 weeks pregnant. I can’t pretend that I have any iota of an idea of what you must be feeling, but I do wish that I could be there for you in person, for hugs and tears and whatever you need, the way I was able to be there for her.

I hope with all my heart that someday, you will be able to live through this date without sadness or pain, and that your desire to have children will be realized.

Again, thank you to everyone for their sympathy and kind words. I am so sorry to hear about the others who have gone through this as well, but I am glad that we can talk about it. That’s one of the hardest things, isn’t it? Sometimes it seems that after the first few days that nobody wants to talk about it, and it’s something to be forgotten and put away.

Well you know, I’m not going to forget and I know I’ll never forget. And I’m not going to feel shy about taking the time I need on days such as yesterday to grieve and think about what might have been.

Sorry, I’m a little upset right now, bad experience this morning of all mornings. Perhaps a pit thread is in order.

I got through yesterday just fine & I think a lot of it has to do with being able to share this. Thank you so much.
